"There's nothing subscription-based software can do, that PaintShop Pro can't, and for a fraction of the cost. Software is supposed to be a tool, not a master!"

"In today's market, with Adobe almost owning it ALL, we have to love Corel... allowing us to buy a product, pay once, and be done with it, vs. Adobe's monthly charge for Photoshop."

"Corel has the edge over Adobe in every sense of the word. Everything you can do in Adobe you can do (and more) with Corel."
